Is it possible to assemble this grill without the side shelf? Would it leave any holes/gaps that affect performance?

Might look a little lop-sided but as far as I can tell it should function just fine. I'd plug the holes with bolts, either living with the excess length or cutting off the excess. If yo buy short replacements be sure to get the same heads and high quality bolts to prevent corrosion. Obviously the right side shelf is needed for the side burner. If you don't want either side shelf get the model (310?) without it and save a few dollars.

The Weber grill would work without the side shelf without affecting the performance. The gas section of the grill itself is self-contained, other than open screw holds, it would work without problems.

You could leave the left shelf off, but there will be open holes bit you could just add the screws in w/o the shelf. I don't think this would look good without the ss shelf, but u could still do it.

IIRC, the shelves are connected to the body and not the cooking portion. I can't remember the installation steps exactly, but it shouldn't affect performance.

There are holes into the main grill body that hold the bolts that secure the side shelves which you certainly want to cover in one way or another. You can see the bolts passing through into the body in the 5th picture, the top down view on the left side. You could install these provided bolts/washers to cover the holes and possible even go buy shorter bolts to reduce overhang since they won't be supporting the shelf anymore. I'd also bet that you could find a plug of some kind at either a home improvement store or an automotive store to use in place of the bolts, it just needs to be temp rated for at least 750 degrees.

Lack of side shelves will not impact main grill performance. However the side burner will not operate without the side shelf.

As listed previously the grill will function normally except for the side burner. There will be some open screw holes and you will not have a shelve to put stuff on. Be sure that if you do not put the side burner on that you cap the gas line. Enjoy the grill it works great.

The left side shelf can be removed/not assembled without affecting performance. The right side shelf has a burner.

The handle does get hot, though I would not say too hot. I also find that opening it toward the outer edges versus the center is a help. I've noticed no problems with the side shelves; however, the side walls of the grill do generate a good deal of heat, so again common sense caution suggests handing trays, etc. from the outer edges of the shelves. The quality of the grill and the cooking temperatures it generates more than offset any minor inconvenience.

No, nothing can be attached to the side, however you can use indirect heat and control the fire, the venting and heat to almost make the whole grill a smoker.

It comes mostly assembled. It doesn't take long to finish and the instructions are very clear. For the short amount of time it takes to assemble the grill is well worth the money.

No!!! I made a wood top to fit within the cfgs 150 stand then mounted the cgg-306 Grill to it. Also the stand was reinforced to remain ridged and upright as a permanent fixture with tank installed. Very easy to accomplish with basic woodworking skills. Bought a universal smoker cover to protect it and it takes up so little space on the deck.

There are notches cut out on the legs to insert the shelf. I doubt it would be very stable without the shelf.

Since there is no air intake at the back it would be safe to wall mount this heater. I see no means of attachment on the casing so I would suggest a shelf with a surround fence up to the black grill-work on the front.

Mine does not quite match the current picture on Amazon, which shows two fan grills with mounting holes. Mine has a single grill without no screw holes. I don't often use discreet video cards on my business computer builds so I have no use for a side fan, but I do appreciate the large fan up front to move in cool air over the hard drives. - The I.T.

The grill/fan is pre-assembled. You only set up the stand and place grill/fan assembly in its carriage. However this was the case when I bought this item previously.

The wiggle room is 1/16". You'll need 12 3/16". You could remove the rubber feet but then the open grill in the bottom might not get enough ventilation

Hello people?? Yes there is some assembly required. But all u will need is a Philips screwdriver. Attach 3 heatproof plastic handles on the sides and top. Then you get to fumble with the leg assembly. Keep an eye on the 4 little washers and put them where they go. And I made a mistake and put the legs on backwards...The wife thought that was funny...but easy fix. Nice BBQ we will use it on our boat...can,t wait!!!!

I assembled it 4 years ago, so hard to remember. The shelf was definitely it's own piece that was slipped onto the legs. My guess is yes you could omit, but it would probably impact stability.

It's partially assembled. You have to add the side trays - much easier than my previous Kenmore grill. It was pretty easy and I was able to cook dinner on the grill the same day I received it.

Not specifically. However, the hole in the back panel that the gas line passes through may be useful. But, there is no hole in the floor panelto complete the circle.Since the grill comes unassembled, a hole could be drilled in the floor prior to assembly. Hole size depends on cable lock thickness.Or if the cable lock is long enough, you can run the cable thru back of the frame.

Yes. The poles screw into each other with the shelves in between. You could just omit a shelf and screw the poles together. I'm not sure how deep the holes are so it may fit tight or there may be a little gap between the poles where the shelf goes, either way it would look fine just wanted to toss that out. Also it is very well built, but of course the shelves make it more sturdy so I would not leave many of them out. It's a great looking, solid stand and I'm very happy with the purchase. Good luck!

The brackets use two bolts and wing nuts. They get hand tightened. Its kind of awkward to store with the brackets attached to the grill, and it wont fit the grill storage bag if you have one.

Comes with some grills for optional vents. You need to cut the holes yourself.
